Are u OK at all? u call Jonathan a highest coward but when u are called a stupid girl u expect d MODs to ban them. if not for anything respect Jonathan cos he is older than u and again no matter ur struggling to achieve it in life u can't sit where Jonah has sat or attain what u have gained.

seunmsg:
The observations are general about the overall conduct of the election and did not in any anyway question the eventual outcome or the legitimacy of the winner.

They also observed correctly that all the party complained about inducement which mean that all of them were guilty. Going forward, I hope INEC can take a look at the observations and correct the loopholes in subsequent elections.

APCmyheart:
But David Mark was allow to participate despite the fraud he and PDP committed? Are you saying Buhari does not have the power to get David mark disqualified? But he never do so instead he allow his own party member to be disqualified. Are you saying despite the atrocities committed in River state, Respites foreign observers saying no election in River state Wike still win in Supreme court are you saying PMB does not have power to make it favor his party?

EternalTruth:
haven't noticed any error or do you mean the omission of the apostrophe?

EternalTruth:
Rivers state should learn from Edo's gubernatorial election.
Not a single record of violence, loss of life/property or injury was recorded.
The whole polling units were serene, calm and tranquil...
The whole citizens of Edo state massively went out enthusiastically to vote for their respective candidates unlike Rivers State eh which was so egregiously appalling beyond human description which churned out mass apathy due to the immensed loss of lives and destruction of properties.
Wike, Amaechi should learn from Oshiomole, Iyamu and Obaseki.
My opinion though, so i stand to be corrected.

oyatmicah:
i tink dis man should go and sleep jare, must he always talk abi na him b d only ex president for Nigeria.
Baba iyabo dey dia, no msg.
even Yaradua no dey give independence msg.
y always him.

APCmyheart:
Wow really? So it's a do or Die affair but PDP win in Bayelsa, APC was disqualify from contesting for Senate in benue which give a free ride for PDP. OMG now i think you need brain reset.

If PMB was interested in a Do or Die election like GEJ i swear APC will win in River and Bayelsa.

Garshyzee:
seems u dont know d diff between insults and an observation..... go learn it...

APCmyheart:
Oh... who was in power during River Governorship election? GEJ and that recorded more killing ever in election history.. go and read about it and stop fooling yourself.

99100:
Ain't ashamed of yourself?

APCmyheart:
Then if winning a second term election should be do or die affair, Then why wasting money on the election? some people reason like a toddler so GEJ should have win with do or die?

APCmyheart:
and the bold sound like a compliment to the person of Jega and the Northers?

APCmyheart:
I wonder why Buhari haven't jail the likes of GEJ, PEJ,Metuh etc...

some of your wailers just reason like mosquitoes, On what ground will he jail Tinubu? He was taken to CCB and he defeated GEJ hands down,

YOU mean he should jail AMeachi? A governor that has immunity? then why is Fayose walking has a free man..

common sense has nothing to do with Degree i swear.

Chikpat:
Nwankwo? ITI!!! Iti mpatako!!!

Dont forget dat social media and fora lyk place have proven to be a place where everybody sees it wen a gurl does not sit well.

Been and Being are two words that students often confuse with each other. Both words are classified as participles. Being is specifically identified as the present participle, while been is the past participle.

BEEN

1. The word been can only be used after have (in any form, e.g., has, had, will have, would have, etc).

Examples

2. The word been is the past participle form of be

Uses of the word BEEN

Present perfect continuous or progressive: I have been to the event
Past perfect: I had never been there before until I met him
Past perfect continuous or progressive: When I first came to London I had been studying English for five years. I had been looking for a different kind of learning experience.
Passive form of the present perfect: English students have been taught well. Several topics have been covered.
Passive form of the past perfect: George did very well on his test. The grammar had been explained very clearly.
BEING

The word being is never used after have. Being is used after ‘to be’ (in any form, e.g., is, was, were) Example, She is being nice

USES OF BEING

The structure being + adjective is used to talk about actions and behaviour.
